Winding apparatus

Abstract

A winding apparatus includes a wire position support including a first feeder including a first wire route hole in which a first wire is inserted and a second feeder including a second wire route hole in which a second wire is inserted, and a winding driver that orbitally revolves the wire position support around a core. The wire position support includes a regulator that regulates movement of the first wire and the second wire such that, when the wire position support revolves orbitally around the core, such that the first wire passes on an opening end surface from which the second wire is fed in the second wire route hole while the second wire passes on an opening end surface from which the first wire is fed in the first wire route hole. Accordingly, the wires are prevented from being entangled in the wire position support.

       3. The winding apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the wire position support is formed into one columnar shape including the first feeder and the second feeder; and 
 the regulator includes a convex surface that projects from the end surface of the first feeder and the end surface of the second feeder when viewed in a direction orthogonal to both an arrangement direction of the first feeder and the second feeder and an axial direction of the wire position support. 
 
     
     
       4. The winding apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the wire position support is formed into one columnar shape including the first feeder t and the second feeder;

 the end surface includes a plane orthogonal to an axial direction of the wire position support. 
 
     
     
       5. The winding apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the wire position support has a columnar outer shape. 
     
     
       6. The winding apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the wire position support has a polygonal columnar outer shape. 
     
     
       7. The winding apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:
